Students Activity

A. Learning Activities
Good morning class!

Good morning Miss _______!

Before we start our class, let us pray first. Can

somebody please lead the prayer?

(One student will lead the prayer)

(Checking of Attendance) Please say present.

Please pick up the pieces of paper under your
chair.
So how was your weekend?
Thats good. Have you enjoyed your weekend
bonding with your family?
Thats good to know. For this morning, our
discussion will be in relation to a family. Do
you know this dinosaur?

(Students will raise their hand and say present as

the teacher calls in their name)
(Students pick up the pieces of paper.)

It was great Miss!

Of course Miss! It was a lot of fun!

Yes Maam. That is Barney, the purple dinosaur.

Very good. Are you familiar with Barneys I

Love You song?
Okay, thats wonderful. Are you ready to sing

Yes.

and have fun today?

Yes.
Let us sing Barneys I Love You song.
(Students sing)
I love you, you love me, and were a happy
family
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you,
Hope you say you love me too.
Okay class, what can you say about the song?
Does it tell us something important that we
have already forgotten to do nowadays?

Sir, even though the song is very short, I guess it

is full of emotions.

How could you say so Josua?

Because I have noticed Maam that the song has a
lot to do with our love for our family, that the real
meaning of family is all about loving each other,
and nowadays kissing and hugging our parents or
family members are not being practiced anymore.
That was a very good explanation Josua. You
know what class, the song simply tells us
something that we should always consider to
keep our family or relationship with others
intact, sometimes showing affection/love
towards a person makes him/her feel that he is
appreciated and there will be feeling of
belongingness and love.
What else have you noticed which made you
conclude that the song is all about love?

Because there are many descriptive words in the

song. The most obvious one is I LOVE YOU.

Thank you. Everybody has sung very well, its

now time to improve your pronunciation.

And left her the water and wood to bring.

And she rocked the babe till he fell asleep.
Then stepping softly, she fetched the broom,
And swept the floor, and dusted the room.

After reading the poem, let us now answer

these questions:

Then stepping softly, she fetched the broom,

And swept the floor, and dusted the room.
Busy

was

Helpful

Who first to say I love you Mother?

What happened to John after?

Little John

Who bring in the water and wood?

He forgot his work, put his cap on and went to the

garden swing.

Who was the next one to say I love you

Mother?

Mother.

What did she do full half of the day?

Who was glad when Nell went to play?
Who was the last one to say I love you
Mother?
What did little Fan do all day?

Who do you think have shown their love for

mother?
How do you think their mother guessed that
little Fan loved her best?

What is the best way to show your love for

your parents? Explain.

Rosy Nell.

She teased and pouted.

Mother.
Little Fan.

She rocked the baby to sleep. She swept the floor

and dusted the room. She was busy helping in the
house all day.
Little Fan.

Because little fan did not just say she loves

Mother, but she showed it by helping Mother in the
household chores.
We can show our love for our parents by not just
saying I love you, giving gifts, kissing, or hugging
them, but as well as helping them in the household
chores so that they will be able to take some rest.

Analysis
(Show a picture of a girl sweeping the floor.)
What do you see on the picture?
What happened to Fan when she was
sweeping the floor?

A girl sweeping the floor.

Fan was happy.

Fan was happy, answers what happen to Fan

when she was sweeping the floor. This is
called the effect.
Look again at the picture, what do you notice
on Fans face?
She was happy.
Why was Fan happy?
Because she was sweeping the floor, answers
why Fan was happy. This is called the cause.

Because she was sweeping the floor.

And thats what we call the Cause-and-Effect

relationship.
Generalization
A cause and effect relationship described
something that happens and why it happens.
What happens is called the effect, and why it
happens is called the cause.
The cause is usually introduced by the
connective because.

V. Assignment
Identify CAUSE-AND-EFFECT RELATIONSHIP. Read the short fable. Underline the CAUSE and
encircle the EFFECT.
Once a farmer went to the nest of his goose and found there an egg, all yellow and shiny. When
he picked it up, it was heavy as a rock. He was about to throw it away because he thought that someone
was playing a trick on him. But on second thought, he took it home, and discovered to his delight that it
was an egg of pure gold!
He sold the egg for a handsome sum of money. Every morning the goose laid another golden egg,
and the farmer soon became rich by selling the eggs.
As he grew rich, he also grew greedy. Why should I have to wait to get only one egg a day? he
thought. I will cut open the goose and take all the eggs out of her at once.
When the goose heard the farmers plan, she flew away to a nearby farm. So when the farmer
came out the next day, do you know what he found in the gooses nest? Nothing.
